Identical Grandson: Difference between revisions

** Only Tsuna and Giotto are confirmed to have a biological relationship though.

** Vongola Secondo and Xanxus look similar in appearance as well, though {{spoiler|Xanxus is not the Ninth's son and was actually adopted.}}

* Every male of the Doumeki family in ''[[xxxHolic]]'' looks exactly the same, for at ''least'' five generations.

* In [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Edward's great-grandchildren look exactly like younger versions of him, Al, and Winry. Other characters have identical grandchildren of them, with a slight twist since they're technically [[Identical Stranger|alternate versions]] of them.

* The Japanese version of ''[[Harvest Moon]] DS'' has this trope happening with every single "familiar" character in the game, practically falling under [[Generation Xerox]] as well, as their personalities and backstories are nearly identical to those of their ancestors. The only major difference? Their names, but even those tended to be blatant offshoots of the originals. Lazy, lazy developers!

** Also, they didn't have all the depressing, realistic back-stories and plots that made the "Wonderful Life" series so unique. They're happy-go-lucky, with little to no problems. Plus, they're personalities are quite different, much more shallow and boring, then their AWL and FOMT grandparents.

** ''[[Harvest Moon]]: Tree of Tranquility'' combines this with the [[New Game+]]. Your child, regardless of who you married, can grow up to look exactly like you (or the opposite gender PC, depending on gender) and set off to start a farm on an island suspiciously identical to your own in every way, down to the [[Generation Xerox|inhabitants]].

** Back in ''[[Harvest Moon 64]]'' you were the Identical Grandson of the original protagonist, from the [[SNES]] game. Your bachelorettes look extremely similar to the original ones, minus Karen who only has her grandmothers blond hair (her bangs).

* [[Fatal Fury|Mai Shiranui]], if [[Samurai Shodown|Gen-An's]] ending in the first [[Samurai Shodown]] is to be believed.

* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', some characters remark that Battler looks a hell of a lot like Kinzo did when he was young. Just ''how'' much is finally shown in EP7 - Young Kinzo's sprite has Battler's face.

* The ''[[Way of the Samurai]]'' games use this enable [[The Blacksmith]] Dojima to appear in every game (As they take place 20 to 300 years apart).

* ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'', the Endou family members who are related to soccer are looking the very similar: Daisuke, Mamoru, and Kanon.

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in [[Questionable Content]] with Marten's dad, who strongly resembles him except for the hair, though that's in part due to [[Generic Cuteness]]. Upon meeting Mr. Reed, Dora exclaims "You're going to be so hot when you go gray!"

* The protagonist of [[Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger]] is a distant descendant of the hero of [[Tales of the Questor]] and looks almost the same (even has the same [[Skunk Stripe|white forelock]]). Though he does seem a little older and more experienced.

* The British Royal Family may in fact be made of this trope. [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1222921/The-throne-clones-How-Royal-Family-inherited-just-titles.html Compare] the 13th century's King Edward I and his great^21-grandson of modern times, Prince William, for instance.

** Except that picture of Edward I is clearly an 18th- or 19th-century rendition; actual contemporary (13th- or 14th-century) illustrations of Edward are much more stylized and not useful for this kind of comparison. Many of the other, more recent ancestral pictures on the page play it straight, though.

** A commercial for Visa Check Card uses this trope directly—Charlie Sheen tries to pay for some videos with a credit card, and it takes the clerk so long to verify it that when the card is verified, the clerk looks up and sees Martin Sheen there instead.

* Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas.

* Jerry and Brian Lawler

** And Stu and [[Bret Hart]]

* Harrison Ford's son Ben resembles him so much they used him to fill in for his father for a few new shots in the Final Cut version of ''[[Blade Runner]]''.

* Angelina Jolie bears a strong resemblance to her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand.

* After over 3 centuries, Japanese figure skater Oda Noburari retains a strong physical resemblance to his famous ancestor [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Though, of course, the resemblances sorta stop there...

* The descendents of J.M. James believe their ancestor was actually outlaw Jesse James, whom they claim faked his own death to avoid arrest. While their claim is considered highly dubious by historians, family member Jeremiah James bears a remarkable resemblence to photographs of Jesse James as a young man: so much so that, if the blood connection were true, he would qualify as an identical great-great-grandson.

* Actress/musician [http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/141/l_46f31541a1f74f98bccf9f71d35872ba.jpg Schuyler Fisk] looks almost exactly like her mother [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/c/c8/20100502181542%21Sissy_Spacek_by_David_Shankbone.jpg Sissy Spacek].

* Late John Ritter and his son Jason.

* [[Mark Hamill]] and his son [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090331003519/starwars/images/d/d5/Nathanhamill.jpg Nathan]

* Colin Hanks is basically a lanky version of [[Tom Hanks|his father]] with a different haircut.

* My grandmother has an identical cousin, no kidding. They look as much alike as Patty Duke, and a photograph of Patty Duke. It's really amazing. They were born 20 years apart, though, and my grandmother grew up in the US, while her cousin grew up in Slovakia, so I didn't meet her until I was 18. I just about fell over. It was like seeing my grandmother just the way I remembered her when I was very little. They showed me childhood pictures. The backgrounds are very different—two different times, two different places, but the same child. This was in the 80s. People now would probably think they were photoshopped.
